Life Changing
Therapist, USA, November 2016
This app was introduced to me by one of my professors at the Michigan School of Professional Psychology as a tool to use in our personal lives, as well as our professional, clinical psychology lives. This app has literally changed my life, as well as the lives of my clients. If you are trying to incorporate mindfulness practice or advanced meditation practice into your life, then this app is for you and everyone you know! There are well organized categories with 1,000's of meditations to choose from. From kids, teens, beginners, to help with sleep, anxiety, depression, and those who seek body-projection and more "alternative" forms of meditation. There is a meditation for absolutely everyone on the planet. Easy to work into busy schedules with one minute-pick-me-ups, to as many hours as you want to sit in meditation. There is a forum to be able to reach out to others globally, with like-minded healthy life styles so as to give and receive support in creating change desired personally and globally. This is the first review I have ever written for an app, but as a psychologist who incorporates mindfulness into my therapy sessions, I have to give credit where credit is due. I am so thankful for this app, it gives me hope that technology can be used to make changes in the world to help better mankind.
Best mindfulness application
Therapist, USA, July 2021
I’m a mental health counselor and I use and recommend insight timer to all my clients. Treating depression and anxiety best treatment is mindfulness approaches and I’m so happy that this application makes it easier while other applications can be as effective no other offers all meditations (all of them) for free as insight timer. Don’t think I’ll ever switch.
Best one out there
Therapist, USA, November 2016
I've used 6-7 different guided meditation or guided imagery apps and this is by far the one I use most (actually the only I use anymore!) I am also a primary care medical provider and recommend this app to my patients for depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress reduction, chronic pain and much more. Other apps I've used give you either a free trial, or limited access and then make you sign-up for a subscription. I've done the the subscription thing with other very popular apps and still found this free app more useful! I use it every day and couldn't recommend it more. Only thing I'm not 100% in love with is they have you rate every time you listen (not just the 1st time) so I feel the ratings may not reflect the truth if the same people are rating the same meditations they love every day. Just a side note, but otherwise I love it. BTW, this is the first review I've ever written for any app, and for me, that says a lot about how much I love this app!
If you are in a crisis or any other person may be in danger - don’t use this site. Use these resources
